Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 104 The Genes of Old Zhu's Family? (4200 in [-] [-] words)
"Wait, shut up!"

Fu Youde's face darkened, "You know what a fart, the old man asked you to go to the sea to find fishermen to investigate this matter, and you asked yourself if you can ask so completely?"

"Besides, since His Majesty banned the sea, the status of our Daming Navy has been worsening day by day. If it weren't for Guo An this time...His Royal Highness King Yan sent people to go fishing in the sea and opened up such a vast granary for our Daming. Master can still be valued so much by His Majesty?"

All the naval officers and officers were panic-stricken, and quickly admitted their mistake: "Mr. Ying, forgive me, I will eventually realize my mistake!"

They all understand these reasons, and they were dissatisfied just now because of the natural confrontation between military generals and civil officials, and their dissatisfaction with Guo An's young face!

As for the low self-esteem of savages facing literati, they will never admit it!
"Report!"

Suddenly, a personal guard walked in from outside the cabin, "Sign up to the general, two big boats are coming from the direction of Dagukou, they seem to be fishing boats in King Yan's mansion."

"Ok?"

Fu Youde's eyes lit up, he immediately got up and walked outside.

Sure enough, not far from where they boarded the boat, there were two eight-foot-long boats with the logo of King Yan's Mansion, and they stopped slowly.

On the boat, two hundred strong Yanwang guards watched their fleet with vigilance.

"Send an order to drive the flag army, come closer to this general, the old man wants to board the boat to see the sea fish caught by these little bastards in the Yan Palace!"

Fu Youde said with interest.

"Here!"

Behind him, a general responded with a happy face, and hurried down to deliver the order.

Soon, Fu Youde's boat was slowly approaching the big boat where Zhu Liang was.

"General?"

The guards of the king of Yan beside Zhu Liang couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. The fleet approaching in front must come to snatch the sea fish, right?

Zhu Liang could also guess what the gangsters under his command were thinking, so he couldn't help but quickly ordered: "The old general at the head is Duke Ying, no one should be rude!"

"Mr. Ying?"

Hearing this, the complexions of the guards of King Yan changed again, and all of them strengthened a lot, looking at the veteran standing on the prow of the big ship approaching in front of them, full of admiration.

Although in Daming, Kaiping King Chang Yuchun and Zhongshan King Xu Da are the gods in the hearts of all soldiers.But Ying Guogong Fu Youde is also an idol-level general among the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

"The last general, King Yan's guard, Zhu Liang, see Duke Ying, and all generals!"

"The last general, King Yan's guard, Xu Xiang, see Duke Ying, and all generals!"

Following Fu Youde and a group of naval officers boarding the ship, Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others hurried forward to salute.

"Well, get up!"

Fu Youde nodded casually. In Fu Youde's eyes, Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang, two hundred households, were just like the soldiers on the ship.

Bypassing Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and the others, Fu Youde walked towards the sets of winches and pulleys on the ship that were covered with ropes with a curious expression on his face.

After a few random turns, Fu Youde understood the functions of the winch and the pulley, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that these small objects could be installed on a boat to catch sea fish!"

"This matter is all thanks to Guo Xianzun!"

Zhu Liang, who followed closely behind Fu Youde, replied honestly.

"Guo Xianzun?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Fu Youde's eyes.

"Hui Ying Guogong, Guo Xianzun is Guo An, the magistrate of Wanping County!" Zhu Liang replied.

"Ok!"

Fu Youde nodded slightly, "However, the Guo Xianzun you mentioned has now become the right-hand official of Prince Yan's residence!"

"You Changshi?"

Both Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang couldn't help opening their mouths wide, their faces dull, how many days did they go to sea?Why did that county magistrate suddenly become Guo Changshi?

However, Fu Youde didn't intend to explain to the two of them this time, but walked directly towards the cabin.

"After a few days of fishing, how many sea fish have you caught?"

Xu Xiang and Zhu Liang hurriedly followed.

"Reporting to Lord Ying, the last general and others went into the sea to fish for four days, and they caught a total of about [-] catties of sea fish."

"One hundred thousand catties?"

Fu Youde stagnated, and then his pace quickened a lot.

A group of people walked down the cabin, feeling a lot cooler in an instant.

Walking in front of the small door separating the fish bank, Fu Youde stopped and looked at Zhu Liang behind him.

Zhu Liang hurried forward, carefully opened the small door a gap, and then opened the whole door after feeling that there was nothing serious.

"hiss……"

Without Zhu Liang opening his mouth to speak, Fu Youde and all the naval officers who followed down couldn't help but widen their eyes and take a cold breath.

Only then did they understand why Zhu Liang was so cautious that the sea fish in the cabin directly stuffed the entire cabin to the brim.

They felt that as long as the sea boat shook slightly, the piled up sea fish could collapse.

These sea fish come in various colors and shapes, ranging from large to small, but the smallest is more than two feet long.

In the past, at most, they had only seen grain as small as a hill. How could they have seen such a large number of sea fish?

No wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to fishing in the sea, and even sent them sailors to fish?
"Zhu Liang, right?"

After recovering, Fu Youde began to face Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang beside him.

"Duke Hui Ying is the last general!" Zhu Liang replied hastily.

"How many days have you been waiting to catch this [-] catties of sea fish?" Fu Youde asked.

"Reporting to Duke Ying, the last general and others have captured him for four days."

Zhu Liang replied again.

"However, Duke Ying misunderstood, these sea fish are only [-] catties, and the big boat next to it is still full of sea fish in the cabin!"

"Very good!"

Fu Youde was stunned for a moment, and then he gave a word of encouragement with a full face of admiration.

Then, under the excited expressions of Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others, they watched the sea fish in the cabin of another large ship next to them again, and quickly left with a group of naval officers who could no longer control their eyes.

After such a small episode, Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others ordered the two large ships to set sail at full speed again.

Fu Youde, who returned to the boat, looked at the naval officers below with an inexplicable expression, "There are only two eight-foot-long boats in the sea, and they can catch [-] catties of sea fish for four days. How do you feel?"

"Duke Ying, don't worry, the last general and others will definitely not lose to the two big ships of King Yan's Mansion."

"Exactly. Duke Ying, please rest assured that the last general and others will definitely not embarrass the navy."

"There are two hundred households, and two large boats of eight feet can catch 35 catties of sea fish. If you and a group of navy generals and captains bring 200 large boats of more than [-] yuan, if you can't catch [-] million catties Haiyu, see if you still have the face to call yourself a navy general..."

A group of navy generals: "..."

Following Fu Youde's words, all the naval officers and officers fell silent along the way.

They regretted that they followed Ying Guogong to inspect the two big ships of King Yan's Mansion. There were so many [-] catties of sea fish, it was comparable to two hills!
How many more than 200 million sea fish are there?
Can there be so many sea fish in the sea?

Along the way, these sailors will start to eat and sleep well, thinking about the 200 million catties of sea fish all day long, and worrying in their hearts.

And in Beiping Mansion.

Guo An ate better and slept better.

[-] catties of marine fish were won for [-] catties from the people of Wanping County, and the remaining [-] catties were sold to the people of Beiping Prefecture.

No one would scold King Yan for not being able to eat meat anymore, so naturally no one would scold him.

Of course, Guo An himself kept two.

What pleased Guo An the most was that the old carpenters in the Gongzheng Institute were still working very fast. The cotton gin, cotton plucking machine, three-spindle spinning wheel, and textile machine he wanted to improve were all improved.

In a side hall where Gongzheng was located, Zhu Di led a round, fat boy with big round eyes, squatting aside, staring curiously at Guo An as he fiddled with the machine in front of him.

"Xiao Shizi also likes these carpenter things?"

After a lap, Guo An also had an idea in his mind. Looking at Zhu Gaochi, who was young and calm, a bad taste suddenly arose in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi was born in Fengyang Mansion in the 11th year of Hongwu, that is, the period when the Zhu Di brothers were sent by Lao Zhu to Fengyang Mansion for reform before they took over the domain.

In the 18th year of Hongwu, Zhu Gaochi was only seven years old.

However, because he is the eldest son of King Zhu Di of Yan, and the grandson of King Xu Da of Zhongshan, this club has already begun to receive education in martial arts and Confucianism.

The seven-year-old Zhu Gaochi is a little fat, but more of a stocky person, not the puffy person he grew up to be.

"Exactly!"

Although he has not yet officially established himself as the heir of King Yan, as the eldest son of King Yan, Zhu Gaochi is not timid in the face of Guo An, the right long history.

"Does the little prince want to play?" Guo An asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.

And Zhu Gaochi had a happy expression on his face, "Is it really possible?"

Guo An said very generously: "It's okay, it's just a few pieces of wood, and I'm not afraid that the prince will break it!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up even more.

However, he still looked up at Zhu Di.

He knew that his mother and father valued these wooden machines.

Zhu Di was a little dissatisfied with Guo An's words, and directly said boldly: "These woods are all made by our carpenters, don't be afraid, even if you dismantle these wooden frames, dad can just let those carpenters make another set later."

"Thank you dad!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi stepped forward directly, imitating Guo An's movements just now, stepping on his feet and turning his hands, spinning and weaving in a decent manner.

"Little Shizi is really smart."

Guo An's eyes widened directly. Are all the genes of the old Zhu's family so talented?

On the side, when he heard Guo An's words, the corners of Zhu Di's mouth turned up subconsciously, and then he sensed that something was wrong.

Tiantian, Prince Yan's son, actually played with craftsmen's things?
"Okay, what's the deal with these craftsmen's things?"

Zhu Gaochi's face collapsed, but he quickly got down from the wooden shelves and stood beside Zhu Di obediently.

Guo An was a little displeased, "Your Highness, these weaving utensils are related to the clothing of ordinary people, and they are things for the people's livelihood. Even the princess often goes to weave some clothes by herself. How can Your Highness underestimate these weaving utensils?"

"enter……"

Zhu Di was a little anxious, and wanted to curse when he opened his mouth.

But when he saw his eldest son standing beside him, he quickly changed his words.

"Chi'er is our eldest son, the eldest son of King Yan, how do you play with these artisan objects?"

At this time, Zhu Di didn't have any ambitions yet, and Zhu Gaochi's archery skills could also impress Zhu Di. Zhu Gaochi was still the eldest son in Zhu Di's mind, and he was also the heir of the future King Yan.

"Doesn't Your Highness attach great importance to these artisan artifacts at this moment?"

Guo An felt inexplicably displeased, so he said something directly.

"we……"

Just as Zhu Di wanted to defend himself, he suddenly found out that he, the majestic king of Yan, was very interested in this craftsman's artifact, why didn't he allow his elder son to play with it?
However, as a father, how could he be speechless in front of his eldest son when he was told by the servants of the family, and said with a somber face again.

"Hmph, then you can't just play around!"

"Since His Highness insists on this, I have no choice but to obey."

Guo An didn't dare to tease Zhu Di anymore. He would have to live this kind of life under the fence for the next ten years, and he couldn't fight the big boss all the time, otherwise he would be easily put on small shoes.

"You disagree with our statement?"

Zhu Di said indifferently.

"My minister agrees with His Royal Highness's statement. At this age, Xiao Shizi must not be playful and lose one's ambition."

Guo An said hastily.

"This thief officer just doesn't agree with us!"

Zhu Di became even angrier. He always felt that Guo An still had something to say.

"Weichen really agrees!"

Guo An looked at Zhu Di sincerely.

"We allow you to say that you will never be punished for your crime."

Zhu Di stared at Guo An and said, Zhu Gaochi should be more concerned about the cultivation of Zhu Gaochi than anyone else, and he has a desire to hope that his son will become a dragon.

Of course, it cannot be said to be Jackie Chan, after all, Zhu Di has never dared to think about that position.

It's just that as a scumbag father, he wants his son to become a virtuous king who is well-educated.

Of course, this has something to do with Lao Zhu's family background as a farmer, plus Lao Zhu's emphasis on the studies of his children and grandchildren.

"Weichen just feels a little regretful. When he was a child, Weichen climbed trees in the village to dig out bird nests, and fished in the river. He was very happy in childhood, and he can become a talent when he grows up.

However, Weichen saw that Xiao Shizi was reading and writing all day long except practicing martial arts, and he seemed to be unable to do other things other than practicing martial arts and reading, not even playing for a while..."

As he said that, Guo An thought of something, and couldn't help but turn pale, and hurriedly said with panic: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, it's a humble minister who has gone too far!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression changed.

But Zhu Gaochi next to Zhu Di's eyes became brighter the more he listened. Guo Changshi, who often made his father angry, seemed to be a good person.

But, why does it sound so outrageous to climb a tree to dig out a bird's nest and fish in a river?Is it not the work of a gentleman?
However, there was a faint feeling of impulsiveness in my heart.

Fortunately, Zhu Di finally came back to his senses, lowered his head, and looked at Zhu Gaochi with a complicated expression, "Chi'er, do you like to play?"

"If you go back to your father, the child won't know!" Zhu Gaochi replied with a cute face.

"I don't know?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

"I haven't climbed a tree, dig out a bird's nest; I haven't touched fish in the river, but I have eaten sea fish, and the taste of sea fish is so delicious!" Zhu Gaochi said seriously.

Zhu Di was stunned, and he couldn't help but recall that when he was still in Yingtian, he and his second and older brothers, because they climbed trees, caused their father to cut down several old trees in the palace and were beaten with a board.

"No, climbing trees is too dangerous!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Di shook his head again and again.

"Danger?"

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of doubts.

"Chi'er, can you climb over the rockery and the roof?"

Talking about this, in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di should be regarded as the top group.

"no!"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head again and again.

Zhu Di said: "Climbing a tree is much more dangerous than climbing a rockery or a roof!"

"Father, have you ever climbed a tree, a rockery, or a roof?"

Zhu Gaochi asked eagerly.

"We didn't climb anything..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di sensed that something was wrong and quickly shut up.
